Razer’s Flexible Gaming Mouse Adjusts to the Situation at Hand

Unless you’re a hard-core gamer, you probably haven’t considered dropping $150 on a mouse. Actually, even if you are a hard-core gamer, you probably haven’t considered dropping $150 on a mouse.

For that kind of money, it only makes sense that the mouse in question should resemble a spaceship from the side and a Decepticon’s face from head-on. It should also have a scroll wheel that looks like it was repurposed from a Tron Lightcycle, and offer a grab-bag of customization options.

That’s exactly what the Razer Ouroboros brings to the table — a table that happens to have neon-green accent lights. You can use it wired. You can use it wireless. If you’re a lefty, you can optimize it for your southpaw ways. If you have long fingers like Arsenio Hall, you can extend its palm rest backward. If your palm likes to ride high on the saddle, the Ouroboros has a dial-operated riser on the back. Its 8200 dpi laser sensor and “clutch” button even lets you speed up and slow down your cursor.

Each of the mouse’s 11 buttons are completely customizable, and you can save your (unlimited) custom profiles to the cloud. That way, you can bring the Ouroboros to that LAN party, plug it in, and have all your settings ready to go.

That is a lot of mouse for $150. My spreadsheets and my Microsoft Paint are about to get pwnd.
